WESTMORELAND, N.H. -- A New Hampshire woman certified as the oldest person living in the United States has died.
Mary Josephine Ray died Sunday at a Westmoreland nursing home at 114 years and 294 days old.The Gerontology Research Group said that until her death, Ray was the oldest person in the United States and the second oldest person in the world.
The title of oldest living American now goes to Neva Morris, of Ames, Iowa, who is 114 years 216 days.
The oldest person in the world is Kama Chinen, of Japan. She is 114 years 301 days.
Ray was born in Prince Edward Island, Canada. She moved to the United States at age 3.
She lived for 60 years in Anson, Maine, and moved to Westmoreland in 2002 to be near her children.
A funeral is set for Thursday in Madison, Maine.
Is anyone baffled that the oldest lady in the world lived in New Hampshire and was originally from Maine? Don't all old people from New England move south down to Sarasota, FL or something? Like I don't get it.
That has got to do something with her lasting all this time though. As much as the elderly think the cold weather is bad for them and their arthritis just maybe the sunny warm sun in Florida is killing them.
Or just maybe, just maybe. The cold weather was helping preserve her old fragile skin and bones and she actually died years ago. Hey it could happen. Live free, errr feeble or die muthafuckas.
PS- If I'm gonna look like that at age 114, I hope I die a half a century earlier.
hey dumbass,
ReplyDeletesince its obvious to us real humans who actually read the news that you cut out the parts of the article that you needed to make your joke (which wasnt funny anyway) you'd see she did move to florida but moved back later in life because she wanted to be with her kids, when she was about to die. she had just happened to live another 10-20 years after she moved. Shut your mouth because your opinion sucks and no one cares what you think.
why dont you rip off bar stool sports some more. or do something more original than try to make shitty jokes about the major news of the day.
oh simmer down above anonymous person. first of all, if you don't like this site, why are you reading it? it's a big wide world and i'm sure you can find something that suits your interests. second of all, obviously someone cares what these people think, check out the little map in the upper right corner buddy. and third of all, so they posted about the oldest person passing away being from NH (where this is based out of)you act all high and mighty but you're a fan of barstool sports? so you're into looking at videos of fat kids wiping out and looking at some girl's ass..a girl you'll never have a chance in the world with? yeah you're real deep and serious. get over yourself.
ReplyDeleteactually I am not a fan of barstool sports, I think that blog is kinda stupid and childish as well. I just think its funny that he copies their whole layout and some of their stories and thinks they are stealing his thunder. and if he posted the whole article, not just the NH part, his joke wouldnt have been valid, even though its fucking stupid anyways. and that map tells me one thing, why people from other countries hate americans. because they come across this stupid bullshit and read it.
